The 'Things That Are Great' Thread

@Marlon Anthony Hello mate, i don't know how far you are with your gym work, and i don't know if you've already seen this, but this guy is a doctor and he goes in deep. Very interesting if you like this sort of thing...

Thanks, I'll give this a listen over the weekend. I've been a bit stop-start over the last few weeks but feel like I'm getting my momentum back after a couple of weeks.

You know that feeling when you've had time off... The first session back, the weights feel twice as heavy, your body feels sluggish and you wonder whats the point.

Then you hit that second week and you start feeling like the bionic man again and you feel extra perky because the weightlifting confidence has returned!

How's your training going for ya?

Yes i know what you mean. Until you feel pumped again, it is a slog.

My training is ticking along Ok. I started back after a 10 year "break", in February, i was taking it easy for the first month. Now i am slowly taking shape. I am

only training Mon, weds, Fri. (age related) But it is high intensive for around 30 mins. I have within the last 3 weeks, started taking a creatine pre workout mix.

So hopefully within the next few days i will start seeing the benefits.

Good to hear, It does take a fair few weeks to truly see results, If you have a history of training and haven't been out of the game too long, Your muscle memory kicks in and you can usually notice results in 2 or 3 weeks.

I'm like you, I just stick to 3 days a week and don't spend any more than an hour max in there. I like being in shape but I hate working out 😂

Tbh I have no issue with players signing in Gulf countries, but THIS... this is fucking unexpected yet great to see... I really can't remember when was the last time a European player signed to a LATAM team, maybe De Rossi and Camoranesi? Yeah, great job for Túlio!

Things that are great??
Older games mechanics.
Im playing Dragons Dogma and there's this woman, one of the main NPC characters, giving you quests and whatnot.
I see she has a quest for me.
- can you help me..?

[ACCEPT].
She's following me now. Bollox. What am I to do again?
[Menu]
[Quests]
"Escort Mercedes to..."
Oh. Alright. Other side of the map.. alright. Lets go.
[...]
So im walking with my party of four and our Parcel and every now and then we get attacked by wolves, bandits, goblins, as you do. And they are tough. So im sweating a bit. There's a lot of fireworks, explosions, arrows, but we're getting through it slowly. At some point im getting to a fork on the road. Which way now? Imma check the map.

[Map]
...
...where's the marker? Gone? I must have unpinned the quest from the map. Where's the quest? Gone? The fuck?

Where's ya woman?
Where's the person we're supposed to escort?!?
Oh... she's over there. Fucking butchered. :LOL:
No notification, no warning, no "Retry". One of the main characters. Gone. Just like that.🤷‍♂️

I knew it could happen with random NPCs in this game, that if you stumbled upon merchant being attacked and you saved him - he'd have opened shop in the city and gave you discount. If you didnt save him - he'd be dead forever.
But one of the main characters?
Found the quest btw - moved to section "Failed". :LOL:

Anyways, just wanted to share this coz I thought it was great. Carry on!

You had one job... :LOL:


Seriously though that is great!

I remember one like that in the first Witcher when you have to escort a character home at night. Fight, fight, fight. Where is she? Oh, over there lying on the ground. I doubt she's resting so that's probably not good news then!
